My blog is under attack

Somebody has been attacking my blog for a week. I noticed a week ago the requests to my wp-login.php on my blog GSMPhoneLocator.com were on the increase. I was aware that someone wanted to password as I barely login to the dashboard in a week.

It's a new blog and has only 100 visitors daily, so I do not think it's my competitors trying to get me down. So what are the attackers thinking? What do they want??

I have blocked access to this page for a while, but the traffic does not go down.

If you see occasionally error message while accessing certain pages, well it's because that the hosting has resource limit in place. Because of the attack, the data has exceeded the limit and results in service suspension.

I currently do not know what to do as the attack continues. I do not have the money to upgrade my hosting service, and I do not have the time to transfer my hosting package.

If you have any idea about stop this kind of attack, please let me know.

How to track my mobile phone's location by number

You might have your phone lost or stolen, that's very sad for everybody. However sometimes you just misplace your handset and could not remember where you have put it. This is kind of annoying because you may have searched everywhere to find it in vain.

You know your device is somewhere around you, you just could not find it. In this case, what can you do? In fact there are a few ways to find out.

First, call it using another mobile device, or landline if you have one. If you have a family around, then this is a great idea. However landline could be a good solution if you do not have a backup phone.

Second, call it from the internet. That's right, you hear it right. You can make a call using web apps, and here is a great phone locator to find your mobile phone, by number.

It's rather easy to use. Just type in your name and phone number, then hit connect. Your phone will ring in a minute and you will find it lying somewhere nicely. Just give it a try.

Oh, by the way, it now only supports US and Canadian numbers. For more information, just google it.

How can the government spy on you

Needless to say, the big news these days is that the US government has been spying on its citizens, foreign agencies and ambassadors for a long time. Well this is no big news actually, a lot of governments are doing this without our notice.

But why? When you call somebody, you usually pick up your handset, dial a number and you are connected to the person. Then you talk and hang up. You do not notice anything unusual, nor the carrier does. In fact, if someone install some kind of spy software on your phone, you may not be aware too.

However it's highly unlikely that the government installs some mobile spy app on your handset, until you are a suspects and deserves the attention. Otherwise no government can bear the cost.

So all the government has too do is attach some device like IMEI catcher (source) near the base station / cell tower. It's better, however if you can do it in the carrier's data center which is possible according to the information leaked.

Now it's easier for the government to track anyone as it wish. As to us, nothing is safe, cell phone, Email, social networking. Nothing!!

More information about Google Earth

Satellite images having different resolutions of Earth Surface are displayed by the web service. It facilitates users to view the buildings, houses and cities as perpendicularly down or from birds eyes view. The resolution depends upon the population and different points of interests. Almost all of the land is covered at least 15 meters of resolution.

Users can search any address of any country, can browse any location and can enter coordinates to locate any thing. Google Earth provides the most of the images in 3D but in some areas of lands the images are available in only 2D. If we view such 2D images from perpendicular oblique angle, then objects which are far away from each other horizontally seem to be similar.

The data of Digital Elevation Model is used by the Google Earth which is supported by NASA. After 2006, various 3D views of mountains and buildings have been improved through this Data Elevation Model. This application also provides the facility to users to add their own data. Then this data is made available to various sources or bogs. This service is able to show almost all kind of images on the surface of the earth. It can show buildings, structures and skeletons. Now Google has added another exciting feature which facilitates users to monitor the traffic speeds. Now the latest versions also provide the facility of the street level view in many locations. So this is a very interesting application to use and take benefit from it.

Introduction to Google Earth

Google Earth is actually a virtual globe that provides the 3D view of the earth. Google Earth does this by taking the superimposition images which are taken from GIS 3D globe, Aerial Photography and Satellite Imagery. This web application is powered by Google as many of its other services like Google Maps. This application was originally created by Keyhole Inc which was later taken by Google in 2004. Google Earth was then again released in 2005 by Google.

Now this service is available for all personal computers having Windows Operation System latest from Window 2000, Linux Kernel having version so 2.6 or later, Mac OS X having version of 10.3.9 or later. In 2008 Google launched this service as a browser plugins. Soon after that this service was also made available to iPhone Operating Systems (iOS) for the mobile viewers. This service is now also available for the Android users.

Google Earth is a perfect tool to track phone locations as well.

Android's MobileMe cell phone backup service

HTC released its MobileMe like cell phone backup service for its Android cell phone users.

After signing in with htcsense.com from their cell phones, HTC Android users can enjoy the same cell phone backup and cell phone tracking service, the same as MobileMe and Find My iPhone.

Compared to Find My iPhone, HTC provides this cell phone locating service to its users free or charge, which makes it rather tempting.

If you have some knowledge about HTC, you must know htcsense is a very popular user interface on HTC Android cell phones, but this time, this website is used to provide full service to Android users, not just merely an interface.

Cell phone tracking vs cell phone lookup

It might have been confusing to see cell phone tracker and cell phone lookup around the internet, well, they are not the same thing.

Cell phone tracking is using GPS, cell towers or WiFi hotspots to determine a mobile phone location in real-time and track its movements. This usually means you need to install some cell phone tracking software or need your ISP's assistance.

While cell phone lookup is look up a cell phone number in a cell phone number directory and find its owner, registered address and city etc. If there is not such a record in the database, then you could find nothing.

You can track a cell phone with the owner's permission or if you are the owner, but you can reverse any cell phone number you have.
